Summary
A lion is forced to visit a wolf each year to “learn love.”
They learn war instead—until winter teaches them something softer.
Every year, without fail, the Matchers bind House Lannister and House Stark together with a visit—children pushed into borrowed courtesies, expected to grow into a bond strong enough to hold the realm. Jaime arrives at Winterfell at ten with a practiced smirk and a sword too big for him; Sansa is five, all quiet fury and Northern pride, clutching the Old Gods like a shield. They are told to be friends. They become rivals. Then something worse: strangers who know each other too well. When they are formally betrothed—Sansa at eighteen, Jaime at three-and-twenty—the realm expects an easy fairy tale: lion and wolf, gold and snow, a marriage built by force and polished by ceremony. But Winterfell remembers every slight. And Jaime Lannister does not call a woman beautiful just because the world tells him to.

Summary
As you might guess from the title, I have problems with this fandom. Not gritty enough. Prone to flights of poesy. But, even monsters have minds, though you might not want to look…
This being the case, I’m not sure how often I’ll update this.Series

Summary
The Long Night has ended, and the Night King has been defeated. The dead are mourned and honoured, wounds are treated and healed, and yet... not all wounds have healed. There are those made not by blades but by choices. And by words.
Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons and Rightful Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, sees her whole world crushing before her eyes, finding herself more alone than ever.
While Winterfell celebrates the victory and honours the dead, the Dragon Queen takes refuge inside a broken tower where she hopes to find answeres for her future.

Behind the Weirwood by ash_maree

Summary
Winterfell sleeps and the weirwood watches. Sansa goes to pray for steel in her spine and finds Jaime instead—no armor, only a dirty mouth and a hand made to hold her down. Under red leaves and falling snow, they make worship out of vulgarity: dress bunched, palms braced to cold bark, say you’re mine in her ear until please is a sacrament. Every risk tastes like reverence. Every bruise comes with praise. In the godswood’s shadow, a wolf claims a lion and the Old Gods keep their secret.

Golden Wolf Pact by ash_maree

Summary
Tywin sends a golden “honor guard” north with grain and good manners; Winterfell answers with steam, stone, and a girl who has learned how to ask. Jaime wears court like a tight collar and follows Sansa into the godswood, where a palm on bark and a warm thumb at her throat turns teasing into law. In a bathhouse carved above the hot springs, she says your mouth and gets everything she asked for—then learns to ride a lion’s thigh until steam fogs the rafters. Between ravens and antlers, stables and speeches, they hammer out a pact neither names: no marks where her mother would see, no asking her to be small, stop means stop. He won’t claim her—but he’ll answer if she calls. Snow stacks against the doors, grain runs north on lions’ wheels, and a scarlet ribbon sleeps inside a book while a knight in the west touches his lower lip and tastes steam, apple, and a wicked little wolf.

Make It Quiet by ash_maree

Tags
Summary
After Theon’s pyres burn low, Sansa refuses sympathy and asks Jaime for something raw and punishing to scour grief from bone. Bound by a leather band and rules they set together, he takes her hard—wall, table, bed—until names are given to the snow and the only thing left in the room is heat, breath, and the quiet they make with each other.
Notes: Consensual rough sex with explicit negotiation and stop conditions, light breathplay, references canon character death but none occurs on-page, no non-con.

Summary
Robert never marries Cersei; Jaime never takes the white cloak. When the king rides north to make Ned his Hand, he brings a different bargain: a Lannister lion for a Stark wolf. Sansa is eighteen and unawakened; Jaime is thirty-two and far too good at smiling. In this A/B/O canon divergence, their betrothal becomes a long, filthy courtship—scent and teeth and vows—until a marriage that is equal parts worship and wickedness. He’s an Alpha who learns to be gentle and mean in all the right ways; she’s an Omega who discovers that greedy can be holy. Knotting, claiming bites, heat and rut, jealousy, devotion, pregnancy, birth, and the den they build together. Wolves and lions, storm and cedar, smut with feelings and a happy ending.

Summary
In the godswood, Deidre Strong finds a fleeting moment of peace with her twins—until Ser Criston Cole steps from the shadows. Love, loss, and the legacy they cannot claim linger between them, paths not taken so whispered dooms might not come to pass.
"I still have a love in me, the likes of which you can scarcely imagine, and born of it, a rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot, if I am not allowed, to satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.”

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗿.Alarra Stark was never meant to fall for a prince. Especially not Jacaerys Velaryon, heir to the iron throne.
Sent to secure Northern loyalty, the prince arrives with his dragon, Vermax and duty - only to meet Alarra Stark, the daughter of the wolf, older sister to Cregan Stark, and nothing like he imagined.
Beautiful, fierce and far from tame, she is winter's incarnate, and soon, his every weakness.
He's fire—restless, golden, untouchable.
She's frost—strong, quiet, and bound by honor.But in stolen glances and secret moments, something forbidden sparks.
Their love is a risk.
Their desire, a weapon.
And in a realm cracking under war and betrayal, passion may be the first to bleed.𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗿𝘆𝗲𝗻.

Scars and Songs by GingerSnaps5
Fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms, Game of Thrones (TV)

Summary
Sandor Clegane never believed in much—certainly not redemption. But he never forgot the song Sansa Stark sang to save them both. After the Battle of the Long Night, he plans to go to his death, seeking vengeance for all his pain. But a wolf in the shadows offers something else: healing, acceptance… maybe even love, if he’s willing to take it.
The North does not forget—and neither does Sansa Stark. She remembers who watched over her, who saved her, who offered her a chance to escape. She longs for a second chance—to make good on a song she began and doesn't want to end.
A canon-divergent story that begins with a song in the dark and follows two scarred souls as they find peace, purpose, and love in the aftermath of war.

Summary
“You must save yourself,” Jace whispers, nostrils flaring with stifled emotion.
When he attempts to release Lord Stark from his hold, his hands are quickly grabbed.
“I command you to leave me.” Jace gives the order, but really, it’s a plea.
“Forgive me, my prince, I cannot,” says Lord Stark, though his grip on Jace isn’t apologetic in the slightest. “I will not leave you, understand? Don’t you let go of me.”
— While Prince Jacaerys is negotiating with the Lord of Winterfell, they form a bond deeper than allies, one they’ll stop at nothing to protect when Jace uncovers a plot of treachery within the walls.
